Yes- It was pilot error

Yes- Cause unknown

No- Never

Hey all,
First post. I have been flying my new P3 for about 2 weeks. I did loads of research before I bought it and scoured just about every forum and You Tube video. It's amazing how frightened a newbie can be about taking flight when it seems like all you see and hear are crash and flyaway stories. It seems that with most things on the internet, when it comes to reviews and anecdotes, happy people post less than unhappy ones. so if I may I would like to do a poll of how many people on the forum have crashed or had flyaways, whether or not it was pilot error or you have never had an incident.

Two minor crashes in a year and two autolandings on critical low battery. No fly a ways or any crazy activity. Home lock and Failsafe have worked flawlessly. Very satisfied with my Phantoms. Crashes were my fault. Bad debt perception my error.

152 flights with one toilet bowl affect due flying over a wharf at 6ft with a very large metal structure underneath, switched to ATTI mode to maintain control. Apart from that, a very solid performer. Nil accidents. Make sure you use a checklist religiously.

I just finished flight 89 without a hitch. One scare I got a battery error check soon message while flying. I landed immediately and found the battery had come loose from the compartment but was still making a connection. Now I make sure the batteries are in firm. I think if you put safety first and don't hot dog you will be fine
